Beautiful woodland! Unseasonably mild here today (17 degrees), would have loved a walk in the woods myself, but had to take the kids to see Black Adam in the cinema!Enjoying the nice autumn sunny weather. Walked for 7.4 km.View attachment 19672View attachment 19673View attachment 19674
Always good to go to the cinema with the kids. Mine were gaming (of course haha). My wife was at home so could walk alone. Going alone I can go a little further.Beautiful woodland!

Yip I am glad too I grew up before the tv and gaming times. And no pictures on social media from the 80's no future generation period hahaha. Great era and not so many so called experts on everything youbsee on social media. Back than, there was still common sense and people could think logically. (Or do I only remember the good things and forgot the crap?)I never feel anything other than lucky that I didn’t grow up in the ‘gaming age’! I was always happy with my Action Man till I was early teen, then the BMX and fishing occupied my free time. Old man talking here
LOL! No, you are not wrong, I’m certain there was a greater sense of perspective and less in the way of expectations, I’m sure there was a greater idea of community and less of an obsession with one’s self, but possibly that’s a problem with the UK. Maybe a sharp downturn will help us regain a sense of what’s importantYip I am glad too I grew up before the tv and gaming times.

In the beginning it felt chilly, but you warm up quickly when running. I made sure I was properly dressedWas it cold during run?
I'm not a mushroom guy but that mushroom looks like fly agaric, used to be very important in shamanisitic rituals and practices. Incredibly toxic, but also highly hallucinogenic. They used to feed the mushrooms to reindeer, collect their urine, and drink it. When the reindeer wasn't around, the shaman would substitute him or herself.Enjoying the so called indian summer, a 5.9 km walkView attachment 19271View attachment 19272View attachment 19273
